Aramark (UT Dining Services) has first right of refusal for any on-campus catering.
Contact them at 419.530.8488 to plan for the event. If a student organization would
like to use any other caterer, they must complete a Food Waiverand attach *copies of:

Itemized food service quote from each desired vendor

Food service licenses for each vendor

Liability insurance for each vendor

*Pizza and pre-packaged foods do not require additional documentation.

While food service under $500 is likely to be granted a waiver, a waiver is not guaranteed.
If denied, the organization will be required to use Aramark or discontinue food at
the event.

For more information on catering and safe food handling, please review this guide from the Ohio Department of Health.
